Be a part of our next retail real estate development.

Regency Centers is the most active developer of grocery-anchored, open-air shopping centers in the United States. With one billion dollars in development and redevelopment starts targeted in the next three years, across the country, Regency brings together the financial strength of an S&P 500 company with the local market expertise to source off-market opportunities in the most compelling suburban trade areas in the nation.

Have a site, a project, or a partnership in mind? Regency's local development officers are actively sourcing opportunities in markets nationwide. Whether you're bringing land, capital, or a vision for your community's next retail destination. Talk to someone in your area.

Our Approach

Off-Market Access

Regency's local market officers are embedded in communities across the country, giving us direct access to land and redevelopment opportunities before they hit the open market.

Grocery-Anchored by Design

More than 80% of Regency's portfolio is anchored by top-performing grocers, including Whole Foods, Publix, Safeway, Albertsons, Kroger, Trader Joe’s, and other market-dominant chains. We build developments around proven traffic drivers that serve the daily needs of high-income suburban households, with average income across our portfolio exceeding $160,000.

Placemaking That Lasts

Through our Fresh Look® philosophy, we partner with local artists, designers, and community stakeholders to create centers that are physical reflections of their surrounding neighborhoods — not generic retail boxes. Our developments become genuine gathering places that drive repeat visits, stronger tenant sales, and long-term community value.
